One of my friends told me that she was officially changing the dress she was going to wear to her own engagement party so she could wear this dress!

Thank the lord I decided to rent this dress as it is one the sexiest dresses I've ever worn and I felt amazing all night long! I'm in love with the off the shoulder look which put the emphasis on the decolletage area. The material is 100% stretchy so was super comfy. This is a dress I will definitely rent again.

I felt gorgeous in this dress and was getting compliments all night. People on the street walking by would yell, nice dress! I looked good in every picture that was taken that night! Thank you Rent the Runway!

I absolutely love this dress! I rented it for a night on the town for a graduation party. My boyfriend said there was never an eye not on me. He kept telling me how gorgeous I looked. I wore black shorts underneath to keep the dress from riding up and was very happy with the fit. Definitely renting again!

Rides up

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

This dress is gorgeous on the model, but for someone with some curves, this dress continued to ride up just as i was walking around my apartment. If you are busty, this dress is rather revealing as it has a low neckline and is very short.

Great choice but very short!

I rented this dress for an annual James Bond party, going up a size to accommodate for my height since it was not recommended for someone who is 5'8". The dress was really comfortable and though it was short, the neckline also hit higher than I expected. All in all, a good choice.

stunning dress

This is one of the most stunning little black dresses I've ever worn! The neckline is very eye-catching and goes well with a statement necklace or even alone! It's a fitted and very short dress. The length would be my only complaint. I wore a size up because I wasn't comfortable with the length on my normal size, but it still fit well. So definitely order a size up for backup!

I loved the dress but couldn't wear it. The front rutching on both size 6 and 8 was stretched and the size 8 front hem was loose. Too bad because the dress is stunning. Short even on me but still a lovely dress.

I didn't get to wear this out bc it was a back up dress but I tried it on and it's super cute.

I'm tall so it really showed off my legs but I had ordered three dresses for my birthday weekend and this was an "in case" dress. I recommend this LBD for a bachelorette party or if you want to be a real tease. It's def sexy bc it's so short! (It hit just below my butt).

I wore this to a bachelorette party - black, in order to not outshine the bride, and yet super sexy!

It's pretty short, so if you're dancing or walking a lot, opt for a bigger size to prevent it riding up. Other than that, it fit like a dream. I loved the cut on the neckline, and it hugged my body and was very good fabric. Definitely go for a good strapless bra. I got lots of compliments during the night and on facebook photos afterward - A+, would rent again!

beautiful dress but very very short

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

It is an extremely beautiful and sexy dress made with nice materials. I am a size between 0 and 2, and this dress in 2 fitted well. However, it is very very very short. I am 5' 4" with a short-ish torso, but the dress covered my butt and that was it. I wore it with tights so I didn't feel uncomfortable nor had to pull it down all that much, but I definitely wouldn't recommend this dress to tall girls.
Other than that, awesome dress. Classy yet sexy.

LOVED IT!

Love the material, the right amount of stretchy without feeling like cheap spandex. The neckline really makes this dress! I wore the Bombshell strapless Victoria Secret bra and it made my top look perfect! Very short, found myself pulling it down but not so short that it was tedious or unwearable.
My bf said I looked gorgeous and I certainly felt it! Perfect NYE dress!

Classic, elegant AND sexy!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Small

I waited for the last minute to rent a dress so the pickings and sizes were slim. My true size (6) was not available so I took a chance on an 8 - good thing I did! It fit perfect (almost snug) but it worked for New Years Eve. The neck line is subtly unique, sexy but conservative. With a large chest I was worried about "popping out" but it only showed a small amount of cleavage. The dress is SHORT so I would not suggest this for a wedding or family party. The size 8 dress also had an issue with the slip coming out below the hem of the dress, I found myself pulling the dress down often to fix it, I wish I would have used the fashion tape! The length of the dress makes it much more limited for formal affairs - but fun parties gives a classic dress some sex appeal. I received so many compliments the night of AND continue to receive compliments while the pictures have been showing up on facebook. A great rental - but expensive ($200) - if you have a coupon, use it on this dress!

Unique off the shoulder cut!

The fabric on this dress was amazing! I did not want to take it off. The neckline and bust area fit a little too tight and you could see the seam holding it together was just too stretched out. I wore a slip skirt under the dress to smooth it out and keep it from riding up. The off-the-shoulder cut was gorgeous. Overall a beautiful dress!

Wore this dress to company Christmas party!

Perfect for a girls night out!

I rented this dress for a girls night out and received compliments all night long! It was very mini on me, but it was just fine with me for the occasion. I spent the evening dancing and never felt uncomfortable in the dress. My only complaint is that the straps moved when I moved my arms and the cut-outs needed fashion tape so that they would lay properly on my chest. Overall a great dress!

Gorgeous but very short

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

This dress is gorgeous but very short. This was my backup dress that I ended up liking more than the original dress I ordered. I received a 4 and a 6 and although the 4 fit I went up to a 6 for a little more length. Although I loved the look of this dress I would have loved another inch or two in length. Sexy but sophisticated; I received many compliments on the dress all night while out in Vegas. I would recommend for shorter girls or taller girls who don't mind showing lots of leg.

All my girlfriends loved it, and wanted to know immediately where I got the dress.

I actually wore this dress back in 8/2012, so this review is long overdue. Anyways, wore the dress for a weekend in Vegas and LOVED IT. The only reason why I'm not giving it a full 5 stars is because the stitching at the "V" in the bust and a few other spots where the fabric is pulled was exposed and stretched - probably due to the fact the dress absolutely lovely and understandly very popular. There was also a 3/4" hole at the hip, which I had to sew before wearing it.
However, it was a great dress - the quality of the material is great and stretchy enough to make it comfortable for going (more than a little) crazy on the dance floor, but still a classy LBD. Loved the off-the-shoulder look! Also, the slight scrunch that gathers at the hip helps to hide any tummy problems one may have; a very forgiving dress.
Lastly, the length was great for me as well! Of course, you will have to pull it down occastionally if you're dancing, but I still found it perfect for the occasion, with no risk of an "uh-oh" undie fiasco. I'd rent it again, no questions asked... but would love if RTR perhaps lowered the rental price, considering how often it's been worn.

Couldn't wear it

Size worn: 12

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

I ordered the dress for a very nice cocktail party, and though I saw that other girls' reviews said it was very very short, I ordered it anyway. The dress is super pretty, but only very petite girls could pull it off (ie short and super skinny). I am very tall (5'10'') and have HUGE boobs so the cut of the neck made me look too busty and the dress was incredibly short. I sadly couldn't wear it :( too inappropriate for the affair i was attending, but it was super pretty and girls with petite figures should definitely wear it!

Beautiful dress and neckline, but it was SO short!

I really loved the way this dress fit, I just wish it had about another 2 inches of material. I tried going up a size, but it was too big on me in the wrong places and didn't give the dress any more length. I was pulling down the dress all night. If you love short dresses, or don't have a large chest, I would definitely recommend this dress!

Gorgeous LBD

Unfortunately this was my backup dress and it was too large. Since I am a 34C I thought it would be safe to size up just to be sure the dress fit. My recommendation is to use your actual size. It is truly a gorgeous, classic dress!

Renter Beware: VERY short.

I rented this for a birthday party and usually I'm a 2, but I ignored the reviews that it would be short thinking that I'm too too tall, so it should be fine. Nope... way too short. One size larger would have been better. Great dress, great style, just rent a size up.

I absolutely loved wearing this dress. My husband and I went to five sixty in Dallas to celebrate our 3rd anniversary . He was loving the dress. It fit perfect. I'm short and the dress was the perfect length.

Great LBD with attractive neckline

I was planning on wearing this to a friends wedding but it was crazy short! Would have been more appropriate to have rented it for her bachelorette party! Thankfully I always rent two dresses at a time to avoid any problems the day of my event. I am short so I was surprised by how uncomfortable I felt about the hemline. The dress does have a great, sexy neckline. Would be good for a date night/ladies night out.

MINI!

I love the look of this dress - however, it is extremely short, even a pair of stockings couldn't fix this. The top seemed to be stitched in the center by just a thread, not made well there. So disappointed because the picture looks so great!

So teeny

Size worn: 2

I don't even know how to rate this. I'm usually a 2 or 4, and only the 2 was available so I thought I'd give it a try. It was SO SMALL. Like miniscule. I could zipper up 10% of the dress and I'm pretty sure I was flashing down there the whole time. I would have needed a 6 and it still probably would have been too short.

Great dress!

Size worn: 6

I rented this dress for a friends wedding and it was worth every penny. Renter beware though, as a few others mentioned it is SHORT! I have a very short torso so I don't usually have any issues with dresses running short (I tend to have the opposite issues of things being way too long on me) but this was just barely long enough. I would also recommend sizing up, I had originally ordered a size 4 with 6 as a backup but the renter before me didn't return the dress on time so the only size they were able to send was the 6. It worked out because the 6 fit perfectly (not sure what the 4 would have looked like, but I imagine my whole butt would have been hanging out!). The material does have a lot of stretch though and is super comfortable. I would definitely rent this again!

This dress is absolutely stunning - I got so many compliments all night! It's both sexy and elegant.

There were no backup sizes left so I was only able to get a size 0. I was afraid of it being too short and small but it turned out to fit perfectly! It is short and tight but not to the extent that you won't be able to wear it. The fabric is stretchy but thicker so the dress looks classy yet sexy. If only I could own this dress...

Such fab dress, but short!

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I'm 5'3" and usually wear a size 10 due to my bust size (as it is a larger measurement than the rest of my body). The dress fit perfectly and had enough room for the girls (although they were shown off a little because it was my 21st birthday!) Beware though, it is VERY short! Standing, walking around, and dancing was fine; however, sitting was not. All-in-all, pretty dress but wish it was a little longer!

Favorite dress so far!

I rented the 4 and the 6. Both fit but I went with the 6 because it was just a tad longer. This dress is super short! I loved it because I'm only 5'2" but I even had to be careful when I sat and bent down. However, this dress is really amazing. The fabric is beautiful. The neckline is stunning. I loved this dress and so did my date!

Hot! Very flattering!

Totally sexy and fit like a glove. The off the shoulder straps flattered my broad shoulders, the neckline showed some but not too much cleavage. The pleats across the front had potential to be awkward but helped create a smooth line. You'll be showing some leg!

Very sexy and short!

I received this as a replacement dress but it was too small and sexy for a office holiday party. If you are renting, I would recommend getting the next size up since it does run small. Would be perfect for a night out or bachelorette!

Way too short!

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Date

I am 5'8". A size 8 in this dress fits my body well in the waist and hips but is incredibly short, so I tried the 10. The ten was still far to short, the slightest movement and my butt was visible! This was sent to me when the dress I originally selected wasn't available, and while it was a very beautiful dress it was simply unwearable. My friend who is 5'3" tried it on and also felt uncomfortable. I think this is a great dress for someone very petite and under 5'3". Luckily I rented extra dresses just in case!

Love it so much, I rented twice!

The dress is quite short, which I like because I'm petite and most dresses are too long for my body. The fabric feels incredible and the dress is flattering from every angle. I will absolutely rent again!
